Good day guys,

Not trying to break any rules so I will not give self promotion details. Serious question - We are developing a Fitness based VR game. A proper one with real goal setting mechanics, huge gamification, the whole 9 yards. I would like to know whether you prefer to buy a game outright or rather have a F2P with in-game purchase and/or monthly subscription.

Side note: I see most games in this genre go for about $25-$30, so we would be the same it we go that route, otherwise I was thinking F2P with a $10/month sub for additional content.

If I am breaking any rules here, I apologize, I am trying to stay within the rules by purely asking the question. For me to ensure I build something the community really wants, I need to first know what they want.

Thank you all in advance for any feedback.

Flubert_Harnsworth: As a consumer I would absolutely prefer to pay upfront.

The amount of subscription services out there drives me insane. There are a lot of apps out there that I would love to get but I refuse to because of their subscription model.

And if you do go the purchase route let me know what your app is I just got my quest this week and I’m looking for a good fitness app.

Oh and as someone has said you can sell additional content as one time purchases for additional income and to support maintenance and improvements.

Doepie308: Thank you for your feedback. And enjoy your new Quest. As someone who has tried them all (well almost all) if you are looking for a fitness app instead of a game with some references to fitness or being active, get Les Mills Body Combat.

I wont list the ones to avoid as I dont like doing that but I will say that Quest is good on refunding for apps you buy and try and go ,"Nah, not for me"

Have a great evening
